That freedom has always been around. What you just wrote above was not the crux of the CU ruling...


Care to provide an actual result of the CU ruling that you find beneficial?

 

Here's the holding from Wiki:

 

"A provision of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act prohibiting unions, corporations and not-for-profit organizations from broadcasting electioneering communications within 60 days of a general election or 30 days of a primary election violates the free speech clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. United States District Court for the District of Columbia reversed."

 

A group of people could not purchase air time within so many days of an election. You don't think those people have a right to say their piece? Of course you don't, why am I even asking? It's perfectly fine for the government to prevent those people from exercising their free speech rights because they are part of a group against which discrimination is fine. I just wonder what you'd think if they were a gay corporation?
